FT3 Real World Data conversion

Is the format for real data import of FT3 compatible with “netcdf” files (NCL, NCAR Command Language)? Or is there a known way of conversion? I wish to import data from the PALEOmap project (https://zenodo.org/record/5460860), which are, besides NCL, available as comma-separated values.

Not directly as far as I know. But there is a (rather complicated) possibility to transform those datasets into a file format that can be imported into FT3. I gave it a try in Windows (though there might be much more, better and faster ways in Linux/Unix) and have converted one file (Map07 - 20Ma higher resolution) to a .mdr file which looks like this in FT3+:
The data behind this map belong to Christopher R. Scotese and Nicky M. Wright and they are using following licence: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International
And the exported map in CC3+ (Jendor-Style):
Here is the belonging CC3+ File if somebody is interested...
Here is the FT3(+) .ftw file of the lower resolution data of the same map as above. The high resolution file is 100 times bigger...but also more detailed of course...
Great! Thanks for showing. However, most important: How have you done this?
The reason for asking: I have to decide within 14 days to buy FT3 or not. I already learned that I have to pay for deeper explanations, too (e.g., for a whole year, of which 11 month deal with CC3, which seems to be of no interest for my needs).
@Kleber the ODW is included with FT3+, so you don't have to buy the annual at all.
Oh, that's nice to hear! Thank you!
